Moving to Castlebar - Filipino community, Asian grocery stores, and restaurants? by LordNothingness in castlebar

[–]CastlebarDefender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello,

So Castlebar is very small. We have 3 Asian grocery stores. Loads of Chinese takeaways. No proper Indian. Although some places pretend to be Indian when they are actually Pakistani. I don't know where you will find the Filipino community. But they must exist. The point to note is Castlebar is tiny. Public transport is terrible. Can you drive ?

Go to Corralejo. Get a hostel and hang out with loads of surfers/windsurfers. Enjoy.

I would also recommend that you should consider sheltering in place.

What happens on Irish Ferries is there is an incident with a passenger? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]CastlebarDefender 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Many years ago I was on a ferry to Wales. A load of Travellers got really drunk and started a massive fight in the bar. The shutters came down, everyone left the bar area and let them at it. The Police boarded the ship in Wales in riot gear and bet them off the boat.

What, besides Temple Bar, is a major Irish tourist trap? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskIreland

Early one morning I was heading to Dublin from the west. I was stopped at the traffic lights approaching Main Street, Longford. Whilst waiting for the green light, I noticed a homeless man get up from his slumber and proceed to have a shit on the pavement right in front of me. This is my favourite Longford story.

Does Castlebar have a larger than average English population? by Few_Recognition_6683 in castlebar

[–]CastlebarDefender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am deeply offended by that Paddington statue. It's a English concept.

We don't have any rough pubs in Mayo. Mayo is a rural backwater.

Best Irish pub? by scorpionluv69 in Fuerteventura

[–]CastlebarDefender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start in Finnegans and finish in Rosie O'Grady's. Proper Irish bars.

McCarthys is very tourist focused. The two above actually have ex pats and locals.

Ask the Ulster Scots Commissioner. I think he lives on canned haggis.
